Is film making a comeback? Here I've got all this film stuff that I never got around to unloading, and am I suddenly cutting-edge? [
] ]'> [] ]'>
I got:
LPL/Saunders 4550XL 4x5 enlarger with color and VC modules
Schneider Componon-S 50 and 80 mm lenses
Fujinon-EX 135mm lens
Jobo CPE-2+ film processor
RH Designs "The Analyser" zone system exposure meter (they're in the UK)
Hall Productions hardwood light box
Kodak densitometer
Peak's best grain magnifier
11x14 trays, print washers etc
Patterson 8x10 contact printing frame
Enough potassium ferricyanide bleach to last several lifetimes
For the moment, it's all sitting idle and cluttering up my apartment, and I figure I'd be lucky to get anywhere near $500 for the lot!
Sometimes I think about doing a little black and white film again, but much lower volume, and with much less gear. Maybe more emphasis on smaller prints, like 5x7 contact prints--hardly need any darkroom at all to do those, and the size seems like a nice compromise.
